Stulid X99 Advice after dissapointment of Skylake

REDNINEAPB · 5 Aug 2015 at 20:59

Hi

I am looking for some advice in regards to the below, I would be hoping to get a OC to 4.2-4.4 GHz Silicon lottery aside do you see any component that may hold me back

By the way I will be using a GTX670 until Pascal

Is the EVGA 650W PSU likely to be enough with other components PCIe SM951 a further 500GB SSD and a 2tb WD 7200RPM will be using a external Blu Ray but that has its own Power supply only other thing may want to go to 32GB memory in the future.

Thanks for the quick reply

Think the gigabyte m2 is limited to 10gbps and would have a adverse effect on the m2 pcie sm951
Would consider the msi x99 sli if you think its any good

I'm seriously considering the GA-X99-SLI + 5820k (to replace an ancient Q6600!)

How long is that bundle likely to hang around? Just starting a new job so need to delay a week or two until cash flow is assured.

stulid · 7 Aug 2015 at 19:32

The bundle wont disappear till X99 is dead I would imagine, the other bundles have been going for ages.

Happy with the case and motherboard

Everything arrived however the Intel CPU box appears to have been crushed during transit so don't know if the CPU is A Ok appears undamaged but who knows.

Spoke to OC UK they advised go ahead with the build.

So on I proceeded only to come across

The 2011 cooler mounting has a cross threaded pin which you then secure a cross member using a bolt, so stuck at the moment.

Looking on the bright side I have spent an hour or so doing some cable management LOL

Will post a picture of crushed box and the case shortly

Got to say motherboard is gorgeous

case is cool too

Frustration is setting in at not knowing if the cpu survived ok and can't test because of the cooler problem if I wasn't going away for Saturday Sunday would go and get a cooler from that local shop world

Don't worry about it too much, you have made Ocuk aware of the box condition so I am sure they would sort it if there's damage.

Send it back you cant accept that its so crushed

May be perfectly fine and be a good clocker, though. I'd wait and test.

Have a new cooler arriving Sunday will see what happens

traveyb · 8 Aug 2015 at 22:10

Wow that's been properly squished. I think take a look at it for any physical damage and just test it. You made ocuk aware which is the main thing
